I just installed the new version of the enhanced script and all seems work well in it. I just can't find the grouping features that were spoke abot in the above post. Maybe it's just too late to be fiddeling with it.

I haven't quite figured it out yet but if you go into the Now Showing List and pick a program then click Edit, there are a couple of fields at the bottom that look like the grouping function.

Where might one find this TWP version and lgkhan’s user interface module for "normal" download? I'd like to check it out manually and read more about it before running this script. Thanks, rbautch, for keeping up the great work!

I'd be interested in this information too. I think that I'd just like to FTP it over and put some of the modifications that I have made to TWP on this version before I rebooted the box. Like tivoweb.cfg for port forwarding, and httpd-tt.itcl for naming the boxes (or does this version of TWP do that somehow), and enter my static IPs in Net Config before my router has a chance to give it a dynamic IP.
Or maybe I just like doing things the hard way.

I just completed updating my zippered DTIVO's with the new script. Everything works great, but after checking the logs it doesn't seem like the USB 2.0 drivers are loading. During the install, the script responded that wireless parameters were found so it skipped the backport driver install. Has anyone else seen this?

Zippered over the weekend, had it all running. Tonight I foolishly thought I'd do the uninstall / re-install to get the updated script and features

First time it downloaded the new script fine & ran fine, but on reboot my DTivo stuck at 8% sat download. An hour and two reboots later it came back up. But no access via the network. I could get a bash via serial port ok. Silly me, I ran the uninstall/re-install again. You don't ever want to do that if you have connection issues. The original script that got you connected is gone, but now it will only procede if it can connect.

I rezippered to restore the original script, re-installed and ran it, worked fine again.

Thinking the stuck downloading and extra reboots were my problem, after it was all working fine I thought I'd try for the new script again. Same thing. It seems to hose either my USB or network settings so I can't reconnect after the reboot. No stuck startup this time, but can't telnet, ping or http into it.

I'm using the AirLink ASOHOUSB adapter.

I need to learn why connectivity gets hosed when I run the downloaded script and how to fix it without breaking open the box yet again to zipper.

TCF and DDB user John1980 has picked up the TWP torch, and is currently hosting the lastest version on his website here until he can get access to the official Sourceforge site. It is discussed in the TWP development thread on DDB starting at post 113. The linked website above also has a link to lgkahn's ui.itcl module.

After some wireless users reported problems connecting after installing the backport drivers, I decided to skip the driver install for wireless users. Most tivo-compatible wireless adapters are only USB 1.0 capable anyway. What adapter do you have, and did it work previously with the backported drivers?

Connect with your serial cable and check the /etc/hotplug/usb.map file to make sure it got appended with the entry for your adapter. I also have some ASOHOUSB adapters and I'll do some more testing.

Now if I can just figure out the new folder creation module.... a bit confusing. Episode names keep changing to the group name I create.

I did the uninstall/reinstall on two DTIVOs without a hitch.....I thought. I just noticed that when I click on either todo or suggestions in the tivowebplus user interface I get an internal error message on both TIVOs.

The only thing I didn't do is shut all tivowebplus running items down before uninstall reinstall. Could that be it? Anyone else have this problem?

Me too. I'll have lgkahn take a look. If you don't care about manipulating folders in the NPL, you can use the original ui.itcl in the stock 1.3.0 distribution of TWP.

I have tried rebooting the box, no go. I have tried a Restart->Quit (from TWP), then the twp command from bash, no go there either.
Here are some telnet session captures:

Code:

How exactly do you go about manipulating folders in the NPL with the new ui.itcl module, anyway? By Editing a show and using that new "Grouping" field? (That's the only thing that seemed to make sense.) I ask because I tried, and it looked like it renamed the recording, too.

Look up^. See posts 1652 and 1658. I haven't had any luck with this function. I now have 2 shows in a different folder and can't get them out or into their own folder.

Had the same problem with the groups. I finally got it to work by doing the following:

Pick a show and create a folder name, then you select that same show from the drop down list. When you are done you will have a show in the NPL that displays the name of the newly created group. Next, select another show you want to put in your newly created group, and in the drop down box, select the first show that was previously renamed to your group. After this you should have two shows in the new folder. NOW you have to select each show in the new group and rename the title.

There are instructions that say to pick a show that already resides in a group, and add your show to it. When you do this, the title changes in the NPL and in the now showing list in TWP. Then just rename the shows.

Sound confusing???? It is, but after about an hour I got the hang of it. You just have to accept the fact that you will be going in and renaming shows in the now showing list in TWP.

Hey Russ,
I'm getting almost the same issue with UserInterface->Scheduled Suggestions:

Several weeks back, I had to restore a disk image and do the Zipper/Script process due to a failed harddrive. After that, I installed BufferHack 4.1, mfs_ftp and hackman. Things were great for several weeks and then I lost telnet and ftp access. I'm not sure why.

I recovered by removing the drive and rezippering/rescripting. This time, I've disabled hackman. Was hackman the culprit?

I'd really like to get hackman configured "correctly" if this was the cause of my problem.

hackman was the culprit only if you ignored all the warnings and used it to set up your rc.sysinit.author file without preserving your original settings. hackman completely re-writes this file from scratch, and if you aren't careful, it will wipe out critical startup commands. The readme includes details on how to avoid this as well as how to set up your TiVo to minimize chances of blowouts due to TiVo clearing the /var directory, updates, etc.

There are 10 kinds of people, those who count in binary and those who don't.

Again, this unit was zippered/tweaked and all was well. Then I lost telnet and ftp (probably due to a hackman config error). This AM, I pulled the drive, rezippered it and replaced it. Upon first boot, I uninstalled the tweaks so I could reinstall the latest tweaks. When I tried to get a directory listing (ls), it gave me the help screen for something called UnZip 5.50 by Info-ZIP. Not sure what happened here. How do I recover ls?

My current path is: ./:.:/utils:/bin:/sbin:/tvbin:/tivobin:/busybox

If I try to run the tweaks, it fails with:
LR-TiVo# sh tweak.sh

You might want to just start over at this point. I'd hold off on using Hackman until you research it a little more.
